Summer Exploration
Six weeks of creativity, discovery, and fun • Open to all
Summer 2021
Bertschi School's Summer Exploration camps return in 2021. Our camps are open to all, not just current Bertschi families! We are excited to meet your camper and welcome you to another summer of fun.
This summer Bertschi Summer Exploration offers week-long, full day camps on campus as well as virtual half-day camps via Zoom. All are led by trained, experienced professionals with a strong commitment to working with children.

Health and Safety
The health and safety of campers remains our highest priority. All camps are designed to function within the safety protocols Bertschi has put in place during the 2020-21 school year. These protocols are the result of months of discussion and research by a Safe Schools Committee planning group that included teachers, administrators, parents, scientists, and healthcare professionals. All camps will operate outdoors using covered and uncovered areas of our campus. Well- ventilated indoor spaces will be used for restrooms or in the instance of severe weather events. Camper cohorts will be limited to 15 kids with 6 feet of physical distancing (camps with allowed enrollment above 15 will be subdivided into smaller cohorts). Individual camps will not mix cohorts and will use separately assigned spaces and restrooms.
